An independent Lower Clapton bookshop has partnered with the literary Jhalak Prize to celebrate a book portraying the lives of Filipino nurses in the UK.
As part of a new initiative, supported by National Book Tokens, 12 independent bookshops, including local bookshop Pages of Hackney, will serve as Jhalak Prize Bookshop Champions to celebrate one of the titles shortlisted for Book of the Year by a writer of colour.
The book Antiemetic for Homesickness was released last year and is shortlisted for the Jhalak Prize.
